Carole Turbin author and GNPS member will read from her new book Souvenir: A Memoir CAROLE TURBIN'S SOUVENIR COMBINES vivid writing, photographs, and art to tell the arresting story of growing up in Queens, New York, in the1940s and '50s with a distant mother and a mercurial father who sold souvenirs of New York to retail shops in Times Square and Chinatown. Finagler, practical jokester, gambler, and later magician--he could swing from angry rejector to loving parent. In the 1960s and '70s, the author escaped to Europe and California, becoming an artist, feminist, and historian. this event is free and open to the public, but please register so that we know how many to expect and so we can contact you if we need to reschedule due to 'weather'
